r/CBD

I love sleeping, I struggle with feeling like I've gotten enough. Often I remain exhausted, groggy, and feeling unwell most days. Last month I decided to try 33mg cbd capsules before bed and it was like magic. Somehow I was waking up naturally after about 6 hours and ready to approach the day, I started going to the gym at 6am and I continued to feel great. I ran out last week and my sleep gradually began to decline until today where I woke up 2 hours later feeling like shit. I know what I'm gonna do now. However it is a bit unbelievable that this improvement hasn't been documented or supported by the science. I wonder if this is a placebo but I don't think I would be able placebo myself into waking up before my alarm. I wanted to see if others have similar anecdotes!

I’m in Canada (Manitoba).

So I’ve taken CBD oil under the tongue in the past for maybe a month straight and noticed zero effects…. neither good or bad. The bottle ran out and I just never bought anymore. I think it was an isolate (bought from a local dispensary) so maybe that’s why it didn’t work much.

I started taking it to try and calm my anxiety and hypervigilance.

I switched to making my own weed edibles out of flower that had high THC starting at age 23. So my brain was mostly developed by the time I started taking it semi-regularly.

I don’t mind being high…. But I’m couch locked no matter the strain, even if I inhale it rather than ingesting it like I normally do. I can’t drive while on it, can’t work, can’t really function well, and it doesn’t really help me sleep either (even indica strains). It only helps to temporarily relievethe anxiety/depression/hypervigilance….. but then I’m back to normal once it wears off. It can also backfire and make me paranoid/even more anxious. I’ve noticed it’s making my mood more unstable in the long term…. but that’s anecdotal since I’ve also experienced compounding trauma over the years. THC is not helping me be productive at all 80% of the time. I need to be able to get shit done.

Seeking advice on which form of CBD I should try next. Should I try a different oil, or try some flower that is high CBD/low THC? Gummies? I’ve also seen CBD pills for sale. I’m willing to buy online since my local dispensaries don’t carry many options. All the flower strains they have are high THC.

It’s worth mentioning I’m on a budget but I’m open to trying many options.

I am not on any medications (they never work on me) so I’m not overly worried about anything interacting.

I deal with a lot of irritability at work and want to try a non intoxicating calming way to help. I’ve never done cbd but I have done a lot of the gummies specifically like the mind ease ones but they definitely get me high so I needed something more day to day to help quiet my mind

I've been taking gummies from carolindica and have tried a few vapes too.. it all helps but nothing was like when I tried some CBD flower. I do well with thcV, CBg&d&c but NOTHING is helping with my evening time relax. I'm ADHD as all hell, like legit and on vyvanse which has never given me anxiety etc... But my struggle is in the evenings I have a natural circadian rhythm crash [not the meds, though the meds effect it] and it knocks out my dopamine AND productivity therefore my ability to RELAX and chill The fuck out.. I tried the CBD flower pack from I think plain Jane? I know it's a cheaper brand I picked up a sampler from I think it was them? I wish I remember which ones I liked.. but THEN I tried one and it sparked the THC anxiety even though I tried all low THC stuff. On top of that I have deep seated trauma tied to smoking from when it turned on me when I hit adolescence damn 20+ years ago 😅 but I do want to try it again.. so! Who else here has ALWAYS had THC anxiety but have found CBD flower that's super relaxing without making you tired and did not trigger the anxiety at all? I'd appreciate some input thank you!

Hey guys!

Instead of speaking to a robot with no emotions, thoughts, opinions or.. well, anything.. I’d like to ask you all some questions instead!

I am someone who has really bad anxiety. I have had really bad symptoms the last couple of days, such as inability to sleep, vomiting, tremors, chills, inability to keep temperature regulated, horrible, watery diarrhoea.

It’s beginning to become a huge issue- I used to smoke weed, just regular weed (dust, stardog, etc) but it made me really really unwell and unsociable because I would become dependent. It also ate into my bank incredibly quickly. I also try drinking beer at night to help me drift off, but that doesn’t work either.

Now, I need an alternative, I’ve heard about CBD oils, gummies or vapes for a while- but I have never tried it personally. In the UK they are legal to buy at a dispensary near me but I am unsure as to what approach I go. What is it? How do I use it? How do I know what dose I take? What’s best for me, gummies, oils, vapes? Is it addictive? Does it work?

If anyone could assist me in answering these questions I would really appreciate it!
